Do this VERY CAREFULLY:
THEN
THEN
The operative word here is QUICKLY; and try it a couple of times, the timing is a little tricky.
This procedure loads a very low level ROM process and is guaranteed to work unless there is a hardware failure.

Try Force Restarting it - Force restart iPhone - Apple Support
If your iPhone won't turn on or is frozen - Apple Support

If you HOLD it won’t invoke Siri
What happens when you try the forced restart? Do you detect any sign of life? And please not the steps for forced restart have to be done quickly and you have to hold the side button in until you see the Apple logo.
As Lawrence stated, if Force Restart really doesn't work, then the issue is with the hardware.
You'll need to contact Apple Support in this case - iPhone Repair - Official Apple Support
Please note - the suggested REBOOT instruction does NOT work. Have tried everything that Apple support suggests.
The REFORCE start with the volume buttons and restart buttons does NOT work
Tried the forced restart on my iPhone XR. Pressed volume up|down and side button. Doesn’t go to apple logo just goes to Siri???? What next?
